it was just over $750 at Best Buy and had a 3/4 TB SSD
I purchased my SP3 to replace a crumbling Samsung Series 5 laptop. While I was initially searching for an Android based tablet, I started to see more functionality in the Surface series, as well as a familiarity I had with Windows 8/8.1/10 from the Series 5. Android tablets seem to be a dime a dozen these days, and the SP3 definitely makes it's mark on the tablet world. What drew me to the SP3 was it's functionality. When I bought the Series 5 four years ago, it was just over $750 at Best Buy and had a 3/4 TB SSD, i7 (gen 3), and that was without the touch screen. Now, for $650 you can get the SP3 that's totally touch screen, upgradable accessories (touch on that in a second), latest gen (or maybe second latest) i7 and a 256 HD. That's fairly impressive. You'll spend a bit more on accessories, but in the end I find it's well worth it. The accessories I purchased with the SP3 were actually for the SP4, yet backward compatible to the SP3. These were the SP4 pen and the SP4 keyboard cover with the fingerprint scanner. This was about an extra 180, but I could tell just by looking at the SP3 pen, I wasn't going to carry that atrocious looking thing around. And since the SP3 keyboard was around 125, it seemed logical just to pay an extra few bucks to upgrade to the redesigned SP4 pad, which came with the fingerprint reader. ABSOLUTELY worth it. The SP3 fired right up after plugging it in, and proceeded to setup windows. When it finally came to updating the OS, you have the option of going to your desktop. Now, since I logged into my previous MS account, it transferred my theme over to the SP3 automatically, so right there was a nice sense of familiarity. I was able to go fiddling around with some of the settings and browse the internet, as well as get familiar with the pen system. PLEASE DO NOTE when downloading the update, a lot of apps will crash on startup. I attempted to open OneNote and Calendar a few times, and they would crash after only a few moments. After the update, however, I was on my way to note heaven. The OneNote program works marvelously, although I've managed to switch note pages a few times because my writing hand (I'm a lefty) hit's a different page. This is sort of hard to fix because the SP is a TOUCH screen, no matter how much programming they make to attempt to curb that sort of stuff, it happens. I'm not docking any points here, just calling the kettle black. I do love though, how smooth note taking is. I'm using it mainly for Tech Math notes in college right now, and the ability to change ink color, highlight in different colors, writing sensitivity, move entire blocks and even RESIZE notes, which is definitely an amazing thing for somebody who, in High School, hated and detested math. Now, I don't even mind because of how well organized I can keep notes. Being a lefty never helped either. If you don't understand, go ask a lefty friend how frustrating it can be to take notes. All in all, I'm glad I went with the SP3. I had considered the SP4, but it's the price for what I wanted was just too much. I'm sure when the SP5 drops, the SP4 will be in the clutches of people like me who wanted a serious machine, and a serious upgrade. But for right now, the SP3 IS that serious machine. I will note, please make sure you purchase an insurance plan. These, as well as any machine could go downhill at a moments notice. It's an additional 150, but spread over the course of 3 years, it's still cheaper than $650. Upon opening the SP3, I nearly dropped it right out of the box because it happened to be upside down. Had I been any more excited to open it, I probably would have been replacing it before I could even turn it on. Hard telling what could happen to your machine in the future, so it's never a bad idea to get an insurance plan for these. ... show more

Surface pro 3
So I ordered a surface pro 3 refurb from BLINQ a little while back. So far so good. I did notice when browsing or have something pulled up with a white background that there's a small bright light on the right side of the screen. No big deal. It still operates pretty smooth. Also the description stated that it came with a pen (stylus) and charging cable, but I only got the charger. I emailed BLINQ about the pen and wasn't really expecting to hear anything back. They did however respond and was very apologetic and offered to refund $40 or I could return the surface for a full refund (even though the surface page stated no returns). I went with the $40 due to I really like this tablet/laptop. The battery gets consumed heavily when running application, but all in all it's still a good product. Thank you BLINQ for your great customer service. ... show more

Surface Pro 3
Amazing machine. Initially had a software conflict backing up to my home server (Windows Home Server), perhaps due to installation of Norton IS with backup. Performed a Windows recovery through the Internet; process is intuitive; and machine, including backup to Windows Home Server, has worked perfectly since (I did not reinstall Norton IS). Boot time is fast and touch screen is response, with our without stylus. Weight with surface keyboard (1096 grams) makes it ideal for commuting; so that I've 'retired' my Fujitsu Stylistic tablet (541 grams) and Dell Inspiron (1535 grams); while Surface Pro 3 is heavier than my wife's IPAD (bare IPAD without case of keyboard is 657 grams), the increase in weight is negligible for a full featured machine with keyboard. Windows 10 is intuitive and much easier to use than Windows 8, I always reverted to Windows 7 after upgrading to Windows 8. By purchasing a 'new' machine from an Amazon seller, I obtained an i7 with 256GB for the cost of an i5 with 128GB. Delivery of machine was immediate and seller was outstanding. ... show more

My favorite tablet to date
This is my favorite tablet. With watching movies on a plane, the battery won't last quite as long as I might want it to. Might make it through two flicks. But for regular internet use, this thing goes hours. Also, don't love that the magnet holds the pen on in a bit of a wimpy way and the pen tends to fall off if I'm not careful. But otherwise, great tablet and cheaper than a SP4 for very comparable product. ... show more

Worst machine I have ever owned
I REALLY wanted to love the SP3. I’ve been looking for an art tablet that I can also use as a computer, and according to everything I had read, this was what I was looking for. I live in China, and *twice* I had it shipped to friends in the States to bring over to me. The first one was a defective model and not what I ordered, but Amazon was pretty helpful in getting it returned, so that’s fine. Then I got my brand-new, 256 GB SP3 with 8 GB of RAM and an i7 processor. Holy moly, what a piece of garbage this thing has turned out to be. While I know the hardware is impressive, and while I’ve heard wonderful things about it from those operating Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (at least that’s what I’m assuming it is) still feels like it’s in beta testing. Almost EVERY piece of software on this thing is glitchy to the point where the computer/tablet itself is practically unusable. Here’s how: -The keyboard cursor, which is an additional $120, jumps around so much as you’re typing that it takes 3x the time it would normally take just to write a simple email. (I have made adjustments in the settings for the keyboard, and it has done little to correct the problem.) Furthermore, the touchpad strokes are glitchy and frequently freeze—I often have restart the computer just to browse Google Chrome. (Full disclosure: I bought a “like new” keyboard from an Amazon distributor, but I’ve heard the cursor jumping issue is a common one. I wanted to love the keyboard as well, as it feels great to use, but actually using it is like stepping back in time if you’re used to an Apple touchpad.) -The UI of all the apps (that I use) look terrible—apparently nobody develops solid apps for Microsoft (the Kindle Microsoft app that doesn’t let you see a table of contents is a pretty good example of this), so you frequently have to run the desktop version of apps and it all looks like something out of 1998. -If you’re not online, you can’t do anything. OneNote WILL NOT LOAD when you’re offline and it takes forever to boot unless you have the fastest of Internet connections, so using it to take notes when you’re travelling or, say, living in China, is completely out of the question. Seriously, this thing is just an incredibly expensive brick when you’re not online—I have iTunes on the tablet AND a cord connecting my iPhone to it, but I can’t import my phone photos onto the computer. I cannot “get details” about the Windows importing system because I’m offline, so I’m stuck. It’s almost impressive how unusable this thing is. -Adobe Photoshop strokes skip or freeze constantly. -Autodesk Sketchbook *Pro* does not run as a tablet app on Windows 10—you have to download the desktop version in order to run the version with all the features, like the selection tool, which is important. Because of this, you can’t turn off the sensory input from your hand, and so you spend half of your time fixing mistakes your hand made. -The f***ing pen. The pen is essential to using this machine, and yet there’s no place to put it. Seriously? There can’t be a little design flourish in the casing of the thing that lets you slip the pen in? So you're constantly almost losing your pen. And yes, you can clip the pen back to the keyboard...that is, until the little clippy thing FALLS OUT OF THE TOP OF THE PEN. -More than once, I’ve needed to attach the keyboard because tablet-based keyboard interface won't present itself for one reason or another. I have no idea how anyone would use this thing without buying the add-on keyboard, as terrible as it is. The only saving grace of this machine is that Amazon will take it back for a refund if you send it back within the month, and the moment I get back to civilization, that’s exactly what I’m doing. Save yourself the money and buy an Apple. Holy hell, what a waste of $1400. ... show more

It took me over three months from the time my tech person recommended it and I thoroughly researched it
I was hesitant to purchase my Surface Pro 3 to use as an alternative to my heavy lap top when out of the office as I was skeptical that a tablet could really "replace" my lap top. It took me over three months from the time my tech person recommended it and I thoroughly researched it, to finally take the plunge, if you will. I must admit I am pleasantly surprised. My Surface Pro 3 is just as fast, if not faster than my 1.5 year old Dell laptop. Both run Windows 10. I did purchase the type key pad for the Surface Pro 4 based on reviews. The only downsides are: 1) you cannot set it directly on your lap and operate it comfortable as a "lap top" ; and 2) I find the fan noise over powering and distracting when streaming movies and TV shows. But, I bought my Surface Pro over two months ago to use for work when I am out of the office at depositions, mediations, etc. and when traveling. Thus, I am giving it five star because it is performing way beyond my expectations. ... show more

Worst Tablet I've Ever Used For Digital Art!
It looks, pretty, its a lot bigger, it says its more powerful, but it has to be the worst tablet i have ever used for art. I bought this cause my surface pro 2 broke. I had used it for 3 years for digital art. I mostly work out of Photoshop so having a system that can run that program at its fullest is a MUST if I'm to do my job in a timely matter. this tablet CAN NOT DO THAT. The first issue i have is the stylus. the previous stylus for the older surface products were Digitizer Stylus's. this worked fine. it could track, DID NOT need a battery to operate, could be easily edited to re-purpose buttons, had no lag in tracking and had a pressure sensitive eraser. This tablet comes with a blutooth stylus, 3 buttons, none which include a back end eraser. instead they have removed it in place for a clicker that opens programs. this setting is completely pointless. to make it worse there are no features that allow you to re-purpose these buttons but the app the clicker opens. i spent 3 days downloading 3rd party programs to allow me to edit the stylus before i could even work. The absolute worse part about it is be the stylus lag. Blutooth tech may be new, but it doesn't make it better. every program i use with the stylus, the stylus lags. its so bad i had to download a 3rd party program to remove the cursor from my screen. the stylus may be more accurate, but its drops the ball in everything else. Hell, you can't even hover click so if you plan on using this for Zbrush, your @#$%&! The second issue i have with it is the performance. Why is there still Intel driver issues. this tablet was made in 2016 (i think), and you still have to manually install the intel drivers to gain access to the color settings. Then there is the slow down. I'm still trying to figure out if this is a runtime issue or graphic but ether way its annoying. I work with lots of layers in ohotoshop cause i do illustration work. sometimes i'll have files with 300+ layers. However, Ive loaded files that had layers in the double digits and the lag can get unbearable. I worked on one file for 5 hours and by the 5th the delay was so bad it took me 2 minutes to draw a line on a layer. Yet I've opened some of these same files on my surface 2 with little to no lag. Why is it that my I5 intel surface pro 2 was able to run better then this at times. it does some stuff right. its thin, the picture on it is amazing, its so nice to work with it (when it is working), I even like the new windows 10 updates. Being able to swipe between desktops and windows without the lag the surface 2 occasionally had was nice. beyond that though, there isnt much good about it. If the stylus hadn't been such a steaming pile of %&$@ I would be nicer to it. Heck I can't even buy a 3rd party one. Cause with the lack of windows settings to edit the stylus, theirs no 3rd party stylus's that give extra features. So your just stuck with this atrocious stylus that barely does what it needs to do. Final Thoughts: If you are a digital artist, DO NOT BUY THIS! just save up the money and buy one of the Wacom tablet PC's. If it weren't for the fact that I have no back up PC to work on, I would refund this tablet right now, but till i can get these projects done and get paid, I'm stuck using it till then. UPDATE: Took it off the charger for the first time while working on stuff away from the house. Even with the brightness at half and on power save, I got only 3 hours of battery life. I WILL NEVER buy a Surface again. ... show more
